Jordan Crawford dunks on LeBron James (Video)

By now you all know the story: Detroit native and Xavier sophomore guard Jordan Crawford dunks on NBA superstar LeBron James during a pick-up game at the NBA superstar's basketball camp. Nike representatives at the camp subsequently confiscate all video evidence they can get their paranoid hands on in an effort to protect the image of their golden boy. The pathetic cover-up prompts widespread ridicule and scorn aimed at LeBron and Nike.

Now after all the hype and intrigue, video of the dunk heard - but not seen - 'round the world has finally surfaced. As I suspected, the video itself is a disappointment and not that exciting - LeBron doesn't get posterized and is in fact coming over to provide help after a teammate gets burned; not exactly humiliating. In fact, this dunk wouldn't have even been given 2 seconds of attention if not for the ridiculous cover-up. This entire situation proves the old adage that the cover-up is always, without fail, worse than the initial action.
